If you're not feeling the first single off Trey Songz' Trey Day, don't give up. "Wonder Woman" is an acquired taste of a track whose techno beats won't sit right with those expecting straight-up R&B. The good news is that, despite some show-offy rap walk-ons and a little over-the-top R. Kelly-style lewdness (see "Grub On," in which our guy seduces his short-order shawty with the line, "Here's a tip/You can be my IHOP--you hop on top of me, I'll hop on top of you"), Trey Day trots out some gorgeous love songs and lines up top-tier Kelly-, Usher-, and Ne-Yo-reminiscent vocals with the kind of production you'd expect from a far more experienced artist. While the poppy standout "Missing You" pours sweet sentiments into a vocorder, though, the album's more traditional ballads will win over the soft-hearted with plain old well-executed prettiness. "We Should Be," for example, a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis composition, throws off sparks no 22-year-old singer should be able to set free. But Songz, proving he's an artist well worth punching your credit card numbers in for, lets them rip handily. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

Great album!
This is one of the best albums I have heard in a while. Not many albums are that good nowadays and htis happens to have many good songs on it. The beats are great and he's also very lyrical. If you haven't heard Trey Songz, give him a try.

A pleasantly surprising sophomore release.
I remember when Trey debuted a few years ago. His first ever single, "Gotta Make It," was sincere and it impressed me a lot. There was a good amount of hype surrounding him, with some claiming that he (along with Keyshia Cole) was the future of R&B. Even Aretha Franklin hopped on to make a cameo on his album. Needless to say, I bought his debut the day of its release and wasn't moved at all. Maybe I should give it another listen now, but at the time it was a very underwhelming effort to me and it also sounded way too much like R. Kelly, who Trey cites as his only true influence in the rhythm and blues genre. After such a disappointment, I refused to ever buy another one of his albums. Quite honestly, after his weak sales numbers, I didn't even think such a day would come for a sophomore release from Songz. So when Trey came out of nowhere with a load of self-promoting YouTube clips, claiming that his album was highly anticipated--and for good reason--I was not the least bit amused. However, I could not deny that I was digging the dark and slightly experimental, Danja-produced "Wonder Woman." Then came the equally likeable subsequent singles, "Last Time" and "Can't Help But Wait." After the addictive Stargate-produced "Missin' You," I could no longer fight the temptation to buy this album. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice. It really sounds like Trey has found his identity on this go-around, excluding the R. Kelly-penned "Grub On." The album is mostly composed of R&B songs injected with some extra hip-hop flavor and swagger; I am quite the sucker for this formula. It's usually nothing groundbreaking, but it's definitely enjoyable. The bouncy and synth-heavy "Long Gone Missin'" is the epitome of this theme and is my hands-down favorite off the album. "Fly Together," produced by Trey himself, is an impressive accomplishment for a generally new artist. "We Should Be" is another highlight; with the help of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, he delivers the perfect soulful ballad for an album closer. Honestly, there were only two out of the thirteen tracks that I did not like. "Role Play" is a bit lame to me and "Grub On" is full of clumsy lyrics. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised with Trey Day. It really is a great sophomore album.

The Oversexed Underdeveloped Teenager.
It's been awhile since I've done a review, (at least since I moved from Virginia Beach, VA to Portsmouth, VA), so here goes. I know Trey isn't a teen anymore, but the latest cd of his makes him a cast member of the American Pie movies-all sex and no substance. This suprises me because his first cd was on point and made me want to purchase this one-or maybe it's just the age difference between us that make me look for more. Each and every song was about some form of sex-rough sex, submissive sex, kinky sex, so forth and so on. I don't have a problem with it unless that's all that you have to offer. To be such a talented young man, this offering was pointless and empty. I won't totally give up on him, but I will listen to several tracks in whatever store has those automatic earphones first before I spend anymore money on him again.
